Subdivision

The Land Title Act requires that all subdivisions be approved by the City's Approving Officer. Approval for subdivision ensures that provincial legislation and the City's bylaws are met.

The following are some examples of subdivision, which require approval from the City:

• Adjusting or realigning an existing property line
• Creating two or more properties from one or more existing properties
• Creating bare land strata lots from one or more existing properties

• The Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw (PDF) regulates the subdivision and development of land and establishes servicing standards.
• The Development Cost Charge Bylaw (PDF) imposes charges to the developer as a condition of approval for subdivision or a building permit. The charges are collected and used towards the capital costs of municipal infrastructure projects identified in the bylaw.
